SUGOi Evolution Zap Short - Men's Black, XL

You've never felt particularly moved to adorn your frame with a twinkling arrangement of blinking safety lights or wear a reflective vest complete with its own light-up display, but you've lately been inspired to be a little more visible during your evening rides. Step up your reflectivity without going the way of a Christmas display in Sugoi's Evolution Zap Short. Like you, Sugoi decided to step up its visibility game recently, and it's answer was Zap. More luminous than the tired reflective accents adorning your old shorts, Za is visible from up to 140 meters away, which gives motorists time to recognize your presence and plan accordingly. Sugoi specifically places the material on its garments in a way that silhouettes a rider's form, alerting motorists to the fact that they are approaching a human rather than an unmoving road sign or reflector. Aside from its luminescent nature, the Evolution is a versatile everyday short, supportive and breathable. It includes Sugoi's also recently upgraded RC Pro chamois, with its stretchy, breathable blend of cushioning and support for rides long or short, daytime or dusk.
